My ongoing theme is always the truth, as I see it, and the exposure of lies, deception and manipulation wherever they exist. I remain firmly convinced that the world can no longer resist its innate urge to unite and co-operate with one another and we are very close to the point where war can no longer be an option if this transformation is to occur.

AMERICA DESERVES DONALD TRUMP

The Donald in full attitude

I used to think that America had achieved the pinnacle of
H.L.Mencken's famous quote about the eventual election of a moron with the
disputed election of George W Bush but that was just a rung above the
possibility of a President Trump. Donald Trump represents the last desperate
hope of an American electorate who have been left out of the political process
and have lost respect for our corpocracy ~ so in their powerless dilemma, many
have turned to a billionaire huckster who will gleefully voice their fears and
concerns while creating a grade D political reality show which sadly has become
American politics: Allen L Roland, PhD

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president
represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great
and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at
last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." - H.L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)

Wall
street (Corpocracy) has made its decision on where its money will go for the
2016 Presidential Election Primaries and the decision, no surprise, is
Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush and Marc Rubio and the rest can scramble for the
crumbs.

The
Supreme Court Citizens United decision has given corporations a voice and vote
in our elections so the corpocracy (Wall Street) essentially decides the winner
through political donations and associated huge
media exposure.

The
public (voting electorate) don't have a
chance since the electoral college voting system guarantees the decision will
be made in essentially five states ~ regardless of the results of smaller
stateswith Ohio and Florida being the principal states.

Unless
we reverse Citizens United, the public is reduced to voices in the wind and as
their frustrations mount they support and vote for candidates that are almost
directly opposed to what they feel ~ they settle for mediocracy and rule by the
corpocracy ~ while gnashing their teeth in the background.

Many, including myself, felt we had reached rock bottom with the
election of George W Bush who immediately led us into our illegal war with Iraq
and the loss
and displacement of millions of Iraqi lives as well as over 6000 American servicemen and countless
wounded in action ~ which we are still paying for.

ENTER THE DONALD

Satirist Andy
Borowitz, The New Yorker, recently satirized the entry of Donald Trump into the
2016 election primaries with his article ~ Bar Officially Cannot Be Lowered

"
Logsdon acknowledged that he and his fellow scholars have come under fire in
the past for claiming that the bar could not be further lowered, specifically
when they issued a paper to that effect after the selection of the Republican
Vice-Presidential nominee (Sarah Palin) in 2008.

“We
got that one wrong,” he said. “Clearly, the bar still had a way to go.”

Now
that the issue of whether the bar can be further lowered has been settled,
Logsdon and his colleagues plan to examine the question of whether there is
anything left to scrape at the bottom of the barrel. “Our findings are
preliminary, but it appears that the answer is no,” he said."

"The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is
able to think things out...without regard to the prevailing superstitions and
taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he
lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable." ~ H. L. Mencken

But
Trump may well survive the satire and abuse and play an important role in the
upcoming 2016 Presidential Primaries as Michael Jensen
points out in the Standard Democrat;

"Six months ago,
by way of example, Donald Trump was not on anyone's radar screen. Six months
ago the polls had Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Scott Walker ~ with a side of Ted
Cruz ~ as the recipe for Republican victory.

And rest assured, six
months from now there will be yet another scenario that will surely change from
today's snapshot.

I strongly suspect
Trump has little or no chance of receiving the GOP nomination. He'll spend some
of his fortune, that's for sure.

Trump is today's
oddity and the lightening rod on the campaign trail.

But the Trump
momentum is easy to understand.

Trump consistently
says what many Americans feel and he says it bluntly - which is refreshing in
the world of politics.

And right now, I
honestly think the American public is sick and tired of political correctness.

What's really
fascinating about the Trump candidacy is that despite massive and unprecedented
efforts by the liberal national media to paint him as a clown, Trump keeps
rolling on and making an impressive showing in virtually all polls.

That must surely have
the liberals scratching their heads for an answer.

As I said, I think
Trump is somewhat a flash in the pan; a popular guy in our reality television
world.

But there is one
major benefit to the Trump campaign.

Because of his
success thus far, he is forcing the other GOP candidates to talk about the
important issues and perhaps slant their opinions in a different direction.

And here is my
ultimate dream.

I would love to see
Trump and Hillary on the stage debating one day. He would eat her alive and throw
the bones to the dogs.

But
I Digress
~ a dull politically correct 2016 Presidential Primary season has suddenly come
to life with the appearance of the Donald and despite his enormous ego and
overbearing attitude, Trump may just, along with Bernie Sanders, help bring
this election back to the issues the people really care about (and the
corpocracy ignores) ~ and set the stage for a truly meaningful 2016
Presidential election.

As the late George Carlin once correctly exclaimed regarding our
Congress ~ “It’s a great big club, and you’re not in it ” ~ so
get used to it because Corporations are people and the electorate are most
definitely not to be trusted with the truth, starting with 9/11 and extending
to Drone assassinations and TPP. But when the Truth does make its belated
appearance ~ it may come in strange idiotic forms which most certainly could
include Mr. Trump.

"The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is
naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more
than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he
sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good
citizen driven to despair." H.L Mencken

About Me

I'm a disabled active duty Navy veteran who was born in Boston, Massachusetts, survived a dysfunctional family, pursued and lived my dreams, including being a Navy carrier fighter pilot. I found myself by fully opening my heart, wrote three books, sired four children and I'm still living my ultimate dream by making a difference from a place of celebration and service. My 1998 PhD dissertation on the UNIFIED FIELD was chosen by Noetic Science and Common Boundary as one of the top three world finalists on combining psychology and spirituality. I retired from my private practice in 2014, because of my service connected asbestosis related lung disease, and live in Antioch, California but still remain involved as a featured columnist on Veterans Today and heart centered spiritual consultant and advisor ~ particularly with combat veterans with PTSD as well as others with PTHD ( Post Traumatic Heart Disorder).
